Nice cookie...I don't want to sound bad but this is a mild cookie and if that is what you are looking for I would say this is the one the texture is lovely. My daughter loves white chocolate chips and pistachios. I was trying to think of a way to Christmas these up! I think I will pipe a small dollop of white chocolate on top and sprinkle with green sugar. also I wish I would have chopped up the nuts a bit more biting into a huge nut in a cookie can be a not such a nice surprise, remember Pistachios are a hard nut not soft like pecans or walnuts.

These are delicious and just a little bit different. Do yourself a favor and buy the already shelled, lightly salted pistachios. They take forever to shell and the the nuts and shells weigh about the same, making the cost virtually the same. I don't bother to chop the pistachios, just toss them in.
